A snapshot of how some of the biggest funds were positioned at the end of July

Investors are watching quarterly filings on Wednesday to get a glimpse at how some of the world’s biggest money managers were positioned at the end of the second quarter, a period marked by a series of record highs in the S&P 500 that preceded a more recent bout of turmoil in U.S. stocks.

The S&P 500 rose nearly 4% from the beginning of April until the end of June, notching nine consecutive record highs in a rally fueled by excitement over artificial intelligence and expectations that the Federal Reserve will be able to lower U.S. inflation without hurting growth. The fund held roughly $20.7 billion in US stocks in the second quarter. In the first quarter, it had slashed its holdings nearly in half, to $18 billion.Activist investor Jana Partners built a new stake in U.S. enterprise software company BlackLine Systems during the second quarter. Jana owned 1.15 million shares on June 30, equivalent to a near 2% stake.
